Just trying an instal on an MVME177 (68060 version of MVME167).  Trying
to have / on /dev/sda5 and /boot on /dev/sda1.  Runs through, initialises
sda5 and mounts as root.  Initialises sda1, suggests /boot as a mount
point, I say 'OK' and it says "Mount failed: No such file or directory".

Dropped in to a shell, did "mkdir /target/boot", and then it would
mount it OK.



I am trying to install the base system from a local nfs server; I
give it the server name and path to the top of the install tree.  It
then says
                                                                                
              +----------+ Choose Debian archive path +----------+

              | /instmnt__________________________________ <...> |              
              |                                                  |              
              |              <OK>           <Cancel>             |              
              +--------------------------------------------------+              

which is confusing, because instmnt doesn't exist on my server.  First
time I erased /instmnt and gave '.' as a path.  In fact I should have
just clicked OK.

Anyway, it is now grabbing Packages from the net, routing through my
PC via IP Masquerading.
